Quando eu me vi perdido
Meu peito gemedor
Bateu, gemeu ferido
Sofrido, doído, desenganou
Quando eu me vi perdido
Meu peito gemedor
Bateu, gemeu ferido
Sofrido, doído, desenganou
Chorei na beira
Do mais cruel precipício
Olha, pelo visto
Eu ia me acabar
Mas você ia passando
Estendeu a sua mão
Pelas ruas de São Paulo
Você foi meu agasalho
Naquele dia de cão
Quando eu me vi perdido
Meu peito gemedor
Bateu, gemeu ferido
Sofrido, doído, desenganou
Quando eu me vi perdido
Meu peito gemedor
Bateu, gemeu ferido
Sofrido, doído, desenganou
Chorei na beira
Do mais cruel precipício
Olha, pelo visto
Eu ia me acabar
Mas você ia passando
Estendeu a sua mão
Pelas ruas de São Paulo
Você foi meu agasalho
Naquele dia de cão
Chorei na beira
Do mais cruel precipício
Olha, pelo visto
Eu ia me acabar
Mas você ia passando
Estendeu a sua mão
Pelas ruas de São Paulo
Você foi meu agasalho
Naquele dia de cão
Translation
When I saw myself lost
My moaning chest
Beat, groaned wounded
Suffered, hurt, gave up hope
When I saw myself lost
My moaning chest
Beat, groaned wounded
Suffered, hurt, gave up hope
I cried on the edge
Of the cruelest precipice
Look, apparently
I was going to end myself
But you were passing by
You extended your hand
Through the streets of São Paulo
You were my shelter
On that dog day
When I saw myself lost
My moaning chest
Beat, groaned wounded
Suffered, hurt, gave up hope
When I saw myself lost
My moaning chest
Beat, groaned wounded
Suffered, hurt, gave up hope
I cried on the edge
Of the cruelest precipice
Look, apparently
I was going to end myself
But you were passing by
You extended your hand
Through the streets of São Paulo
You were my shelter
On that dog day
I cried on the edge
Of the cruelest precipice
Look, apparently
I was going to end myself
But you were passing by
You extended your hand
Through the streets of São Paulo
You were my shelter
On that dog day
